Good player, but c’mon lottery in the latest mock draft still? He’s been sitting at 14th since the last couple updates. Really??? Lottery good? Maybe I missed something??? Anyways, does anyone else have a different back end of the lottery? I believe we can agree that some players will end up in the lottery:

DeAndre Ayton
Marvin Bagley
Michael Porter
Luka Doncic
Mohamed Bamba
Jaren Jackson
Trae Young
Collin Sexton
Wendell Carter
Kevin Knox
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Mikal Bridges

That’s 12 players that should make the lottery with 2 other spots in not necessarily your order. Did I overrate anyone? Who would you add to this list to complete the lottery??? IMO Khyri Thomas isn’t in my next tier, it would go:

Miles Bridges – Maybe could have been a lottery pick last year

Jontay Porter – Finished strong and I think he’s the youngest player in the draft.

Brandon McCoy – 7’1″, averaged a double double and can hit an outside shot or a free throw.

Bruno Fernando – High IQ big just needs to work on consistency but great strides and upside

Dzanan Musa – only been getting better and better this year rising in the draft ranks

Anfernee Simons – a bit raw, but has the youth and skills.

… and that could be WAY off – or not…
What’s your lottery look like??? Maybe we can get a better consensus this way to.

It sure would be nice if the players were ranked already so the big board would load in the “create draft” section- comments to. Anyways-

Love to see what your lottery looks like. Thanks.

 Wouldn’t surprise me if Gary Trent or Georgios Kalaitzakis sneak into the 10-15 range

Robert Williams, Lonnie Walker are a couple more. Spellman is a wildcard if he decides to declare and run in the Five on Five. Maybe Musa sneaks in there.

I agree Thomas is backend lotto at best, an older prospect. He has long arms and fits the undersized 3D wing model. Not sure he will be a creator. Could be Avery Bradley. That’s worth lotto if it’s Boston Bradley.

 I have Donte Inferno and Robert Williams III in my top 14. I have Mitchell Robinson in there now, too. I have Malik Newman at 14 but Shai, Knox, and Wendell Carter Jr have also had spots in my more recent mock lotteries. I had Moritz Wagner up there too but he is a "next 5" guy now.

My entire lottery board that I justed updated today:

1. Mo Bamba

2. Jaren Jackson Jr

3. Ayton

4. Porter Jr

5. Trae Young 

6. Mikal Bridges

7. Donte Inferno

 ^^^

8. Luka Doncic

9. Mitchell Robinson

10. Marvin Bagley III

11. Collin Sexton

12. Robert Williams III

13. Miles Bridges

14. Malik Newman

To  break that down, it is 1-5 as my top guys. Not even sure what order really. Then 6-14 with not much difference between the guys.

waaaayyyyyyyy tooooo high on Malik Newman, he’ll be lucky to ge in the first, Lottery?? Please explain.

Your board is intriguing. Makes me want to watch DiVincenzo highlights. What are the odds anyone in the top 20 runs in this years 5 on 5 sessions? It would definitely help clear some space. One common theme in this years draft is no matter how different everyone’s boards may look, they are packed in tight.

 are overrated to me. Fernando is an average defender, he had 7 games with no block in the Big 10, only two with more than a block and doesn’t make his team win games.

Musa is a below average shooter in the Adriatic league  (30% 3pt) and his athletic advantage in this league won’t work in the NBA. Also Average at best rebounder and passer, doesn’t contribute in other field than scoring.

Concerning Thomas, as an old prospect, I doubt teams will take him instead of Zhaire Smith or Anfernee Simons but he could be a very good pick in the late first/early second.

Not sure at all Isiah Irving is a lotto pick, but i can tell you he’s pretty much my pick for the suns at 16 if i’m the GM.

He’s tough, efficient, plays hard, an upperclassmen needed(too many frosh and/or 18yo kids drafted, he’s a 21yo junior and he’s still older than Booker, Jackson, Chriss and Bender), he can shoot, drive, dish a bit, i like the fit with Booker and Jackson on or off ball, O or D.

Winning basketball off guard type.

2 shooters, 3 drivers, 2 offensive alpha male, 2 defensive alpha male, all capable playmakers and for the 1st time in 8 years, an inside presence with Ayton….

Payton-Daniels-Warren-Chriss off the bench, a true point, a great 3 pts shooter, an elite 6th men, a dumb athlete…fillers.
